I'm at the NEC for @Makers_Central this weekend with @Hacky_Racers . I've brought four racers this time! Thanks to @Worlds6440, @robberwick for the loan of their racers.
It'll be the first event for SideHustle (the trike/sidecar), and our first event under @ourmotorsportuk !

After racing at 'Car at the Farm' @Hacky_Racers event we are stripping down DM aka death machine and we are giving it a #makeover to include rust conversion, paint job and a new look! @tomcorteil

Great day with @Hacky_Racers at #carsonthefarm testing out FPV on Babe the pig using #stereopi to an Oculus Go headset. Great view at short range, but WiFi limited us to only about 10 metre range to my headset, which we need to resolve. Bigger racers were fantastic to drive

Yesterday was a bit of a mixed day, destroying a display, two DC-DC converters and a CAN bus module but in the end got the monitoring of the VW battery working in CircuitPython on a Pico. The cell values are in mV and realtime 😁. What happened voltage overload when switching on!

Now cutting bits for our @Hacky_Racers battery pack with the water jet cutter. Could have just manually done this but it's a good project to familiarise myself with the Wazer.

Spent the day fixing up DM our full sized @Hacky_Racers conversion. New ESC because we destroyed the old one, by shorting out one of the phases and it over heated at #FootFest2023! Also repositioned the ESC to help with cooling and labelled things old school style 😎

Robot club @cammakespace this Saturday. Advice for your #PiWars and @Hacky_Racers robotics racers builds/plans. If space allows will get out the official PiWars speed run course.
PS. You don't need to be a Makespace member to attend.

I've still got issues with Rule Zero so had to marshal another race. Looked great though:

We've had an even more off-road @Hacky_Racers race today, around the farm tracks at Scrumpy Cup. Jan was the winner in Rearrange Rover, closely followed by Chris in Let's Go.

The rain has stopped and the @Hacky_Racers grid is starting to assemble at Scrumpy Cup. We've got several new builds at this event. Tech check may be interesting as several have used cardboard for battery protection...
